As stated previously I typically think it's best to RP it as a burst of aetherial energy. You don't have to be a mage to use aether (Such as how Monks use 'chakra') and the animation rather heavily implies that it's just that. I can see how people would prefer to RP it as shining light in people's eyes, but I think the most consistent version would be a burst of light since in the grand scheme of things it's a parlor trick and unless you're like 100% aetherically inept it's plausible for even a common swordfighter.
I think Overpower is in a similar boat. Some classes use aether in ways they don't expect, so while warriors aren't known for being aether users, this one could be similar to the chakra business in monks. They're trained to focus their will into an intensely powerful swing which is more or less the means to have a burst of aetherial energy issue forth from the head or point of impact. That's how I would RP it if I was going to, same with Tomahawk as being written off as my character channeling a large amount of focus into the head of the axe before swinging it towards the target.
I just keep it simple and ignore some abilities that don't suit my character in a roleplay sense, although currently that number is basically just two with tomahawk and overpower. If you RP the ability to use aetherytes then I don't think stuff like this is a far stretch even for the most magically inept characters. That is, of course, if they were taught such a thing, but given that Flash is the subject of a quest for gladiators it doesn't seem far fetched that it's a common and very useful ability.
